It sounds very promising. Sounds a little like Jablonsky, Beltrami and Newman.
So it sounds great, shitty and not bad respectively?
I think you mean “it sounds shitty, not bad and great, respectively”.
You must really like my rants about how f*cking terrible Beltrami’s music is, right? 😉 By the way, now I realized I don’t actually know which Newman Brent had in mind. Thomas, or David? I wrote that having David in mind.
Ha, oops! Thomas for sure.
Well, I don’t think Beltrami is the best composer today, but he’s way better than Jablonsky. However, I’m glad that you wrote that with David Newman in mind, because to categorize Thomas Newman’s music as just being “not bad” is really weird.
Jablonsky is not as bad as people think he is. Sure, some of his work is considered “noise,” however he does it with such panache that I can’t stop enjoying it. Yet, I can’t say I get the same enjoyment from Beltrami’s scores. He bores me to death.
As for Thomas, he’s in another league. I love everything he does.
